History

SIGIT quintupled its workforce in 2005 and doubled it again the next year. In 2007, the company won its first major contract with the federal government and its first major project outside of Western Canada. SIGIT steadily grew, even during the recession, and was named the third fastest growing company by Alberta Venture magazine for the “Fast Growth 50” in 2009. SIGIT made the list again in 2011 and was also recognized as one of the Top 200 companies in Canada by Profit magazine.

In 2008, SIGIT invested extensively in the development of e-SCADA. The web-enabled SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) software system allows clients to monitor and manage remote production and process sites in real-time. The eSCADA platform was sold to Pengo in 2015.

SIGIT’s management team completed its first acquisition in 2009. The company purchased selected assets of Flowstar Technologies Inc. The product line was rebranded as SIGIT Products and later the division was sold to Bandit Controls Ltd. in fall 2011.

SIGIT began developing its internal operating system in 2010. SIGIT Operational Integration System (SOIS) was created to manage the company efficiently and effectively. This system manages three primary components: systems (technology), people (individuals, groups and organizations) and processes (information for decision making). SIGIT is recognized in 2010 by Alberta Venture as the 18th fastest growing company in Alberta.

SIGIT was profiled in Fleet Digest regarding the benefits of telematic systems powered by TELUS. The article discusses how technology, using the GEOTrac by TELUS service, is helping fleet owners in way they never thought possible.
